What the Bible says about light and seed

The True Light "In him, (the Lord Jesus) was life, and that life was the light of men. The light shines in the darkness, but the darkness has not understood it. The true light that gives light to every man was coming into the world,…the world didn’t recognize him." John 1:4,9.

The Good Seed and the Weeds “The kingdom of heaven is like a man who sowed good seeds in his field. But while everyone was sleeping, his enemy came and sowed weeds among the wheat and went away.”Matthew 13:24,25.

President Obama renewed his push for gun control measures Friday
as he condemned the “senseless murders” of five Dallas police officers
in a coordinated sniper attack overnight.

Late Friday, the White House announced Obama would cut short his
current European trip by a day and visit Dallas early next week.

The attack, which also injured at least seven, was carried out
during an anti-police brutality protest. It was the nation's deadliest
day for law enforcement since 9/11.

Obama, speaking at the start of a NATO summit in Poland, decried the “vicious, calculated and despicable attack.”

He vowed “justice will be done” and voiced support for the
“extraordinarily difficult job” of America’s law enforcement officers.

“Today is a wrenching reminder of the sacrifices that they make for us,” Obama said.

But before wrapping his remarks, the president once again returned to the issue of gun laws.

“We also know that when people are armed with powerful weapons,
unfortunately it makes attacks like these more deadly and more tragic,
and in the days ahead we’re going to have to consider those realities as
well,” Obama said.

Dallas Police Chief David Brown said it appears multiple
rifle-toting suspects were working together, "triangulating at different
positions" as protesters marched through the streets of Dallas. Three
people were in custody and one suspect dead.

The attack comes on the heels of a string of failed votes in
Congress to tighten gun regulations, particularly for those on
terror-related watch lists. The latest surge of votes followed the
deadly terror massacre at an Orlando nightclub last month.

Lawmakers, though, still have not been able to come together on a
piece of compromise legislation. Democrats have objected strongly to
the stalemate, even staging a protracted House floor sit-in.

House Democrats are likely to ramp up their calls for gun
restrictions following the Dallas murders as well. Members of the
Congressional Black Caucus, at a previously scheduled press conference
Friday morning, continued to urge legislation on the issue.

Protesters also held a police shooting rally by the U.S. Capitol
Thursday night. At the same time, Fox News is told House Democrats are
mindful of further stoking the embers of an already volatile situation.

Obama’s swift turn to gun control riled some Republicans.

Former 2016 presidential candidate Mike Huckabee said the
“common denominator” is “not the weapon” – but the “anarchy in the heart
of the person who’s … committing the crime.”

Meanwhile, lawmakers across the country voiced solidarity with the people of Dallas and law enforcement community.

“Tonight I join the people of Dallas, Texas, in praying for the
safety of the Dallas Police Officers and all who are in the downtown are
this evening,” Texas Republican Rep. Pete Sessions said in a statement.
"Our police officers selflessly put their lives on the line every
single day to vigilantly protect our families and communities and it is
devastating to think that someone deliberately targeted our law
enforcement.”

"Stoking the embers". That is a curious turn of a phrase.

Who would benefit by intentionally "stoking the embers" of racial animus?

Of course, as fround in the article, Professional Politicians, like
President Obama, will use this as an excuse to attempt to further
subjugate the "unwashed masses" for their own political gain.

However, it is the "Secret Power Brokers" who are even more dangerous.

A few months ago, I happened upon a website, by the name of DemocracySpring.org, where I read the following…

Sit in with thousands. Save democracy for millions.

MARCH: APRIL 2-11. SIT IN: APRIL 11-18.

It’s time to take mass nonviolent action on a historic scale to
save our democracy. This April, in Washington, D.C., we will demand a
Congress that will take immediate action to end the corruption of big
money in our politics and ensure free and fair elections in which every
American has an equal voice.

The campaign will begin on April 2nd with a march from the
Liberty Bell in Philadelphia to Washington, D.C. where thousands will
gather to reclaim the US Capitol in a powerful, peaceful, and massive
sit-in that no one can ignore. Over 2,000 people have already pledged to
risk arrest between April 11th-18th in what will be one of the largest
civil disobedience actions in a generation. Together we can open the
door to reforms previously considered impossible and reclaim our
democracy. Join us!

…Every American deserves an equal voice in government. That is
our birthright of freedom, won through generations of struggle. But
today our democracy is in crisis. American elections are dominated by
billionaires and big money interests who can spend unlimited sums of
money on political campaigns to protect their special interests at the
general expense. Meanwhile, as the super-rich dominate the “money
primary” that decides who can run for office, almost half of the states
in the union have passed new laws that disenfranchise everyday voters,
especially people of color and the poor.

This corruption violates the core principle of American
democracy — “one person, one vote” citizen equality. And it is blocking
reform on virtually every critical issue facing our country: from
addressing historic economic inequality, to tackling climate change and
ending mass incarceration. We simply cannot solve the urgent crises that
face our nation if we don’t save democracy first.

But if the status quo goes unchallenged, the 2016 election —
already set to be the most billionaire-dominated, secret money-drenched,
voter suppression-marred contest in modern American history — will
likely yield a President and a Congress more bound to the masters of big
money than ever before. And our planet and people just can’t afford
that. But there is another possibility.

What if we can intervene in a way that no one can ignore to make this election a turning point toward reform?The moment is ripe. Poll after poll shows transpartisan public
frustration with the corrupt status quo reaching new, nearly unanimous
highs. Voters in Maine and Seattle just passed bold new anti-corruption
laws to enact citizen funded elections. A growing democracy movement has
lifted this issue into the public debate. Yet Congress refuses to act.

The stage is set for a bold intervention to turn the tinder of
passive public frustration into a fire that transforms the political
climate in America, that sparks a popular movement that can’t be
stopped. How? From Selma to Occupy Wall Street, the Tar Sands Action to
Black Lives Matter, everyday people have proven the power of mass,
escalating nonviolent action to rapidly shift the political weather and
open the door to reforms previously considered impossible.

Where is this art of ruling, to say nothing of the art of
leadership? It is only the unscrupulousness for robbery. And when this
same man then says: “We have a fine instinct for idealism and material
values.” Yes indeed they have. They have destroyed idealism everywhere,
and they have grabbed and taken possession of material worth and always
grabbed and taken possession of it, too, by brutal force only. For in
300 years that nation has oppressed and yoked and subjected nation after
nation, people after people, race after race.

If they were really such brilliant rulers, then they should now
be able to leave after the Indian people have expressed their explicit
desire that they do, and then to wait and see whether the Indians call
them back again. They have been careful not to leave, although they know
how to rule so wonderfully, and in this they are completely of one
mind, these plunderers, whether they run around in a Marxist cap
(Translator’s note: This refers to the typical workman’s visored cap
used in post-war Germany as a symbol of communism) or in a capitalistic
one.

No, my friends, they don’t know how to rule. They can only
subjugate peoples and then pauperize them for their own benefit. A
handful of people-very rich ones, to be sure-of both Jewish and
non-Jewish origin are determining the fate of the world. And we can say
with calmness that Germany itself has had an example of the ability of
these people to rule. For when in the year 1918 the Reich collapsed, the
blinded German people turned then in its blind faith to these people,
in the hope that they might be shown a path by them which would lead
them back out of-their misery, the democratic Germany, not the
National-Socialist Germany.

The first block of quotes, is from Democracy Spring, a Far Left Activist
Group, which receives its funding from moveon.org, which in turn,
receives its funding from Hedge Fund Billionaire and Political Puppet
Master, George Soros.

The second block of quotes comes from the Jewish Virtual Library. It is
taken from a speech, delivered in 1942, given on the 19th Anniversary of
the “Beer Hall Putsch”, by German Chancellor Adolph Hitler.

The Beer Hall Putsch was an incident that took place on November 8,
1923, when Nazi troops under the direction of Hermann Göring surrounded
the a beer hall in Munich, Germany. At 8:30 p.m., Hitler and his storm
troopers burst into the beer hall causing instant panic. Hitler
announced to the crowd that the Revolution had begun, and went to the
back room of the hall to try to persuade the local officials to
capitulate to him. They wouldn’t. Hitler’s attempt to seize power that
night failed. But, thanks to word of mouth, and Hitler’s use of
propaganda, a seed was planted, that would eventually lead to World War
II.

By now, you are probably asking:

Okay. So what does one thing have to do the other?

Hitler eventually rose to power by praying upon the economic despair,
hopelessness, and avarice of the German people, whose country was
savaged by the Great Depression of 1929.

Hitler chose his nations Jewish Population as his scapegoat, blaming
them for Germany’s plight. He soon attracted legions of young men,
swayed by his propaganda, who began to march the streets of Germany,
intimidating anyone who dared to disagree with them.

Hitler formed a political party, naming it The National Socialist Party, which led to he and his thugs being called “Nazis”.

The era became known as the “Rise of Fascism”.

It should be noted that, according to various sources, during the Nazi
Occupation of Hungary in the 1940s, the before-mentioned Funder of
moveon.org and Democracy Spring, George Soros ,
reported his own countrymen to the Nazis, facilitating their removal
via “the long train ride from which very few ever returned”.

So, where is the “Black Lives Matter Movement” getting all the money to spread out across the nation?

Who is "stoking the embers"? The "Money Man" behind Black Lives matters is the Puppetmaster, himself, George Soros, as The Washington Times reports…

With the backing of national civil rights organizations and Mr.
Soros‘ funding, “Black Lives Matter” grew from a hashtag into a social
media phenomenon, including a #BlackLivesMatter bus tour and march in
September.

“More than 500 of us have traveled from Boston, Chicago,
Columbus, Detroit, Houston, Los Angeles, Nashville, Portland, Tucson,
Washington, D.C., Winston-Salem, North Carolina, and other cities to
support the people of Ferguson and help turn a local moment into a
national movement,” wrote Akiba Solomon, a journalist at Colorlines,
describing the event.

Colorlines is an online news site that focuses on race issues
and is published by Race Forward, a group that received $200,000 from
Mr. Soros’s foundation in 2011. Colorlines has published tirelessly on
the activities in Ferguson and heavily promoted the #BlackLivesMatter
hashtag and activities.

At the end of the #BlackLivesMatter march, organizers met with
civil rights groups like the Organization for Black Struggle and
Missourians Organizing for Reform and Empowerment to strategize their
operations moving forward, Ms. Solomon wrote. OBS and MORE are also
funded by Mr. Soros.

Mr. Soros gave $5.4 million to Ferguson and Staten Island
grass-roots efforts last year to help “further police reform,
accountability and public transparency,” the Open Society Foundations
said in a blog post in December. About half of those funds were
earmarked to Ferguson, with the money primarily going to OBS and MORE,
the foundation said.

OBS and MORE, along with the Dream Defenders, established the
“Hands Up Coalition” — another so-called “grass-roots” organization in
Missouri, whose name was based on now-known-to-be-false claims that
Brown had his hands up before being shot. The Defenders were built to
rally support and awareness for the Trayvon Martin case and were funded
by the Tides Foundation, another recipient of Soros cash.

Hands Up Coalition has made it its mission to recruit and
organize youth nationwide to start local events in their communities —
trying to take Ferguson nationwide.

Democracy Spring, like moveon.org, who supports self-described Socialist
and Democrat Presidential Nominee Candidate, Bernie Sanders, is, like
the rest of the Modern American Far Left, unwittingly championing the
same political philosophy that Adolph Hitler did, when he took over that
Munich Beer Hall in 1923.

In this present situation, what we are seeing is the result of
anti-establishment rhetoric, spewed forth by those who are now actually
“the Establishment”, taking hold, and spreading Class Envy and Racial
Animus in such a way as to inspire violent retaliation for perceived
“grievances”, by a fictional “White Establishment”, which is actually no
longer in power, and the Police, who are seen as the emissaries of “The
Man”.

They, following the teaching of Saul Alinsky and Adolph Hitler, are
picking a target, in this case, the “Man”, or "the White Establishment",
as an excuse for their “Revolution”, in an attempt to “get what’s
coming to them”.

Like Hitler, they are promising prosperity to all who follow them.

And, like these type of movements, there seems to be an endless supply of “Useful Idiots”.

Of course, the irony is, they are being funded by at least one of those
“Secret Power Brokers”, who is a major player in "the White
Establishment".

The Joshua Tree - An original parable/allegory by this blogger.

Abraham planted a tamarisk tree in Beersheba, and there he called upon the name of the LORD, the Eternal God (Genesis 21:33). Here is old Abraham just planting a tree and living by his well. Why are we told this? It is symbolic of what is taking place in his heart and life. The tree immediately brings to mind Psalm 1, which says the man of God will be like a tree planted by rivers of living water, bringing forth its fruit in season. Here is a life that is fruitful, that is concerned about those immediately around and is pouring out blessing into their lives and hearts.

Testimony/Sermon of an Abortion Survivor

SUICIDE WATCH

I am sure most of you have known at some time in your life a person who wanted or attempted to end their life or succeeded in doing so. Personally, I have known a number of such people. I, myself had such an episode as an adolescent.

More and more I am reading and hearing about people young, old, male, female, gender and age don´t matter that add their lives to this problem of epidemic proportion in our society. Whatever the cause, we can all do something however small to save lives.

No need to have a psych. degree or to be licensed. An understanding heart, a listening ear is sometimes all that it takes to help weaker, more sensitive people overcome the hopelessness that drives fellow human beings to discard the gift of human life.

Please, take a few minutes to read below the few examples and testimonies about suicide. And please pass it on, if that´s all you feel inclined to do. Thank you.

HE INVITES SUICIDE JUMPERS FOR A CUP OF TEA

Don Ritchie moved to a house outside Sydney, Australia, for the clifftop view. But soon he was stopping suicides by inviting potential jumpers inside for a cup of tea.

Don Ritchie has been awarded a medal for bravery and an Order of Australia (the nation’s second highest honor) for averting hundreds of would-be suicides by approaching people and offering them a cup of tea. ‘I used to sell kitchen scales and bacon cutters,’ he says. Now, ‘I’m trying to sell people life.’
